==History==
The recorded history surrounding the hill started in 300 BC when last ''Shruthakevali'' [[Bhadrabahu]] and [[Chandragupta Maurya]] visited the place in order to attain ''kaivalya''(beatitude).{{sfn|Rice|1889|p=5}} The small hill derives its name of Chandra because Chandragupta was the first of the rishis who lived and performed penance there.

Kalbappu was the early name of the hill and it dominates the history of the town of [[Shravanabelagola]] between 3rd century BC and 12th century AD. The [[Jain]] traditions link the [[Mauryan|Maurya Empire]] Emperor Chandragupta and his teacher Bhadrabahu with this place. Of the total number of 106 memorials found at Shravanabelagola, 92 are located on the small hill. Of these, about 47 memorials of monks, 9 of nuns, and 5 of householders belong to the 7th and 8th century. This points out at the popularity of the custom, and of its extensive prevalence on the small hill.

==Geography==

The hill is situated about 3049 feet from mean sea level and 200 feet from the above the ground level and is situated in the northwest entrance of the town. A vast expanse of granite rock, scattered large and small boulders can be found en route to the peak.

It bears a striking resemblance to that of the Bahubali statue on the [[Vindhyagiri Hill|Vindhyagiri Hills]].<ref>{{Cite web|last=Ramaswamy|first=Chitra|date=2017-02-18|title=Rendezvous with Karnataka's Jaina Trail|url=http://www.millenniumpost.in/sundaypost/routes/rendezvous-with-karnatakas-jaina-trail-215649|access-date=2021-05-17|website=www.millenniumpost.in|language=en}}</ref>
